The Humura Association wishes to express its sympathies to the Jewish communities of the United States, Canada and the rest of the world for the anti-Semitic massacre that took 11 lives in Pittsburgh on October 27, 2018.

We offer our sincere condolences to the families of the victims and to the Jewish community, which still faces hatred and violence more than 70 years after the Holocaust.

As survivors of the Tutsi genocide in Rwanda, the members of Humura Association condemn this attack with the utmost energy and demand justice for this crime.

We urge that strict measures be taken here and elsewhere to stem the rise of anti-semitism and other hate crimes.

We must all continue to fight for the day when we can truly say ‘never again’; when no human being is killed because of what they are.

We stand in solidarity and in mourning with our Jewish brothers and sisters, and we reiterate our firm determination to work for memory, justice and life.

You are cordially invited to the 2018 Hope Gala. The party will be held on Saturday October 13, 2018 at 25 rue Laurier, Gatineau (Maison du Citoyen – Gatineau City Hall), starting at 5:00 pm. As usual, a dinner with the flavors of the Mille Collines will be served. The legendary Izuba and Indashyikirwa cultural troupes reserve us wonderful musical and dance numbers. This will be an unforgetful evening where music will transport us to higher emotional grounds.

Note: Proceeds from this event will serve to keep alive the memory of the Tutsi genocide – the 25th Commemoration of the Genocide against the Tutsis of Rwanda will begin on April 07, 2019.
